Letter of an Iranian Refugee in Turkey in support of Iranian refugees sit-in in India

I am an Iranian asylum seeker in Turkey who has exact insight of problems and issues refugees have and that is why I decided to write this letter after I heard about protest sit-in of Iranian refugees in front of UN office in Delhi.

Unfortunately, I heard that my friends and fellow humans are in India for years in uncertain condition waiting for a response from UNAMI, reception of their refugee status and transferring to a third country. Also, their frequent requests remained unanswered and their peaceful protest and their natural rights to protest against existing situation faced with police brutality.

Hence, it is expected that UNAMI as the highest authority in refugees’ reception procedure, to do necessary proceedings in regards of improving and accelerating refugees’ file examination.
